Stephanie Doucette and Annebet Duvall met in March 2003 as neighbors in Manhattan's Little Italy, where they chit-chatted on their Mulberry Street fire escape. A few years later, on Valentine's Day 2005, the pair launched Doucette Duvall, a dress and coat line that sought to fill a fashion void in their own wardrobes. Their whimsical yet timeless designs embodied the wit and elegance of their mothers, grandmothers and aunties. And like the women who influenced their fashion style, the designers strongly encourage the personal interpretation of each piece.
